Donations & Volunteers are Always Needed to Help Our Shelter Animals

It costs a tremendous amount of money to keep our shelter running in order to provide the necessary housing, food and medical needs to the animals in our care. We greatly appreciate any and all tax-deductible cash donations. We’re always looking for Volunteers to help out at the shelter and with our fund raising activities.

We understand that financial times are tight. If you are unable to make a cash donation, you can still help! Won’t you please consider some of the alternative ways you can help? We are grateful for any and all assistance we receive. Some alternatives involve simply a donation of your time, which doesn’t cost you a penny! Think about it, wouldn’t you just love a warm, fuzzy hug from our wonderful animals? They give so much and ask only for a little attention in return! Volunteer and hug a pet today!

YOU CAN Make a Difference!

The Watertown Humane Society is in search of people who would like to make a difference in the lives of stray and unwanted animals! If you are able to commit some of your extra time and talents, you would be a great addition to our Board of Directors! Contact Katie for details at: Katie.osborne99@gmail.com
